The DVD receiver supports DVD+R/RW discs recorded in the following formats:

•Discs recorded in DVD-Video mode.

•Discs recorded in ISO 9660 Level 2 or Joliet format containing MP3, WMA, or JPEG files.

*1 The DVD receiver’s region number is printed on the rear panel. If you attempt to play a disc intended for another region, the message appears onscreen.

*2 MP3, WMA, and JPEG files are supported on discs recorded in ISO 9660 Level 2 or Joliet format. (See “MP3/WMA/JPEG Compatibility” on page 9 for more details.) However, some CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: incomplete disc finalization, disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty, the disc contains only a small amount of data. Discs that contain different types of files, JPEG, MP3, WMA, DivX, and so on, are not supported. See the manual sup- plied with your disc burner for more information. Condensa- tion or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.

*3 Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t conform to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the DVD receiver.

•The DVD receiver does not support disc types not listed.

•The DVD receiver supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.

•Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those shown below, because you may damage the DVD receiver.

•Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom- made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver and you may not be able to remove the disc properly.

About this Manual

This manual explains how to use all of the DVD receiver’s functions. Although the DVD standard offers many special features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the disc being played, the DVD receiver may not respond to certain functions. See your disc’s sleeve notes for supported features.

When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is not available, this logo may appear onscreen, indicating that the feature is not supported by the current disc or by the DVD receiver.
